The all-nisht work Of large daily papa
owned by sharpen and schemers now broke
down his health through his lofty and
wounded honor.
A friend better adapted TO newspapea

power, had invited him to the mountains "a

It was the last despair Of all-tEe worse

Doris golden hair and skin to match, sc
white that the sun drew out the defects Of
its texture without affecting its bloom, and
her large gray eyes full of wondering love
that she had found favor 30 Instantly in the
sight Of this copy of Adonis or Decatur, were
natural to be admired by brunette like En-
phorian, whose fine expressive head and
dramatic features stood six feet above the
ground and were crowned with the ripglets
Of another Julius Cesar.
Alas that all outside being of such glory,

He was no pulling lover, fnagnifying the
obligations Of marriage. His necessities
we're the more real that they sprang from the
obligations of parental and brotherly duty,
which he could not set aside and selfishly
enjoy womans love.
No sigh escaped his lips; no complaint
mingled with his VOWS and homage; but as
he looked to her above, in her toilet of sum-
mer neglige, his large dark eyes like pools in
the woods receiving the midday sun, he also
saw the Golden Quill above her head fixed to
its pediment and seeking every way for ex-
trication from its environment.

exclaimed Doris.
North. south, east and west the Golden
Quill responded on the pediment, but there
was no indication Of theme sufficient to
hold it to q great purpose.
The war was over, the peace was full of
little clouds, but brought no majestic col
lision of forces and epic splendors to
attract the covetous finger of the news
gatherer.

Mass, July 9, 1887. Gentlemen:
Mr.. Lewis Dennis has just called
upon me and informs me, that
the boy Grin Robinson, who was
a poor cripple on crutches and
was cured by St. Jacobs Oil in
1881; the cure has remained per-
manent. The young man has
been and is now at work every
day at manual labor; a case cer-
tainly which proves the efficacy
Of St. Jacobs Oil. Mr.. Dennis
tells me also that he had rheuma-
tism in his knee, tried many
remedies, but Of no use. and it
cured the rheumatism perma-
nently, as it has not troubled
him for years. .-Dr. GEORGE C.

Summing Up.-By this showing
St. Jacobs Oil cures the worst
chronic and crippled cases; cures
promptly; cures permanently;
in this case without recurrence Of
pain in six years intervening
since 1881. No other remedy
can make the same showing.
Hence it is the best. the surest,
the cheapest.

Interesting Revolutionary Relics.

General Colt, chief of the old war and
navy division of the Pension Office at
Washington, sent an interesting relic to
the Pocomtock Valley Memorial Asso-
citation of Massachusetts,, recently. It
was the commission of John Clarke as
first lieutenant in the Colonial Army, and
bore the signature of John Hancock in
larger and bo.der hicroglyphics than the
famous signature on the Declaration OF
Independence. This commission is be-
licved to be first that was issued by the
Colonial Congress, being dated year
and three days prior to the Declaration
of independence. There is no commits
sion on file il the Pension Office, nor is
there record of any that is older than
this. The large number of troops that
gathered in Boston early in the war were
rcorcanized in the latter part of April
and early part of May, to serve until
December /, 1i75. The officers were not
commissioned by the United Colonies,
but by the various Colonies separately.
Very few troops were added to thcsc, cx-
cent some companies of liilcmen. In
ISIS Clarke was living at Marlboro, Wind
ham County. Vt. He removed to Deer
field. Mass, in 1910, and died there jan
uary 10, 1920, aged ninety. Nothing ls'
known of Clarkc's rccor.l during the
war, and it is supposed that he did not
attain higher rank than lieutenant.

PICKED Up At SEA.
The Burned City Of Montreal's
Missing People Rescued.
The Boat Which Contained Them
Adrift for Five Days.

The burned steamship City of Montreal's
missing boat was picked up at sea, and tho
seven passengers and six members of the crew
who were in it are safe and well. The rescue
was made by a German vessel named
the Mathilde, which has arrived at Falmouth,
England, with the thirteen survivors on
board. The party was rescued five days
after the burning of the City of Montreal.
ter leaving the steamer they experienced
very rough weather. They had a plenti-
full supply of bread and meat, but
very little water AS consequence
they suffered badly from thirst.
The weather was hot, and this greatly con-
tributed to their discomfort When rescued
they were almost exactly in the middle of
the Atlantic.
The boat was picked up by the brigantine
Mathilde, from Campeche. The rescued men
say that when their boat left the burning
steamer there were fifteen persons on board.
Finding it too crowded two persons jumped
aboard another boat. There was only half a
kcg of water in the boat, and that was bad.
There was no sail aboard, and no means for
signaling passing vessels. The boat was
nearly swamped twice, and the men had
hard struggle to keep her ahoat by baling.
On Thursday they sighted a steamer and
pullci toward her, signaling WITH jacket
and a handkerchief, but the steamer passed
on without seeing them. On Friday
they sighted another steamer at q
great distance. On Saturday they
sighted another steamer and pulled
toward it, and found that it was the City of
Montreal, still burning. They tried to board
her to obtain more water, but her plates were
too hot. They drifted until Monday, when
they were rescued by the Mathide. They
laud the kindness of the Mathildes captain
and crew.

FALL OF AN ELEVATOR.
Two Persons Killed and Many
Others Injured.

Two Persons Killed and Many
Others Injured.
An overloaded elevator at the collar and
cuff factory Of G. Sidenberg & Co., Al and
40 Mercer street, New York, fell four
stories to the basement at about 7:3O
o'clock Thursday morning, killing one wo-
man instantly and mortally wounding
one man, and more or less seriously in
jurins eleven girls. The building is six
story iron front. About 300 women and
girls are employed by the firm, who go
to work at s O'clock in the morning.
There was a rule that those who arrived be-
fore 1:45 could ride up OH the elevator, but
after that they must climb the stairs. This
rule was an induCcment to get them there
early.
The elevator was in charge of John ONeil,
a married man, thirty-five years old. The
employees entered the elevator from the basc-
ment floor At about $50, when it started,
there were fifteen women and girls in
it. The elevator rose with its usual
motion as far as the third story. Here the en-
ployes always left it to go to the room where
they left their wraps and hats. At this landing
ONeil pulled the chain to stop the elevator,
but instead of stopping it, something was heard
to crack, and then, to the terror of all, it
plunged down through the shaft like
a pile driver. 1t was all over in an
instant, but during that instant the
gir's surged to one side of the ele-
vator car, throwing ONeil around so that
his back projected out of the open front of the
car, and he struck against the landing of the
street floor breaking his back. He fell out on
the basement floor, groaning, beside the engi-
neer, Patrick Gibbons, who was the only man
there. At the same instant Mrs James
Lynch, aged IS years, of 297 Mulberry street,
pitched headlong from the car, striking the
side of her head against corner of pillar,
fracturing her skull and killing her instantly.
Of the rest not one escaped unhurt.

Profitless Practice"

Iwonder how many young girls are
forced every day to distasteful task by
stern and ambitious parents? took din
ner lately at suburban house whence a
youthful guest was obliged to 60 home
early, because she had not yet accom-
plished her allotted three hours prac-
tticing on the piano. 1 asked her if she
was fond of playing, and she said: "No; !;
l hate it," Very likely persevering hard
work will in time make an accurate per-
former. The soul will be lacking in her
style of drawing music from the piano.
She might, I am sure, spend the same
amount of labor more proitably. Ger
tainly, it is probable that she has an apti-
tudc for some accomplishment or study
in which three hours work every day
would make her really proficient. 1t is
easier to mold boy than agirl In this
arbitrary fashion. A girl, says Ruskin,
must develop in her own way, or not at
all; and this believe to be the true
theory. Post
